The editors liked
Even more competitive multi-threaded performance
Entire range now arrives with Wraith cooler
Improves on every aspect over previous generation
Faster and better memory support
More aggressive pricing
Precision Boost 2 and XFR2 are much improved
Ide
Solid value
Impressive multi-core performance
All chips unlocked
Lots of motherboard choice
Significant performance boost vs. 1800X
Bundled coolers
Backward-compatible with 300-series motherboards
Indium solder
Better memory and cache performance
Faster and more frugal than before
Excellent all round performance
Improved overclocking
Dramatically improved performance
Reasonably priced
Useful included CPU cooler and software
New 12nm fabrication process
Precision Boost 2 works well
Taking the 2700X over 4GHz out of the box
Memory compatibility does not seem an issue
Lower pricing at launch compared to its predecessor
The editors didn't like
Still lacks single core performance compared to Intel
Struggles in memory intensive applications
105W TDP compared to previous 95W on 1800X
Increased power consumption compared to previous Gen
Single-thread is better but not great
Limited all-core overclocking headroom
Limited overclocking headroom
No value-oriented 400-series motherboards yet
Still slower clock speeds than Intel
Slower than Intel for gaming
Higher TDP than 1800X
Highest-energy draw on load
Marginal improvement to be had over 1700X/1800X
Power draw could be better
Still behind Intel in terms of IPC
Limited overclocking potential due to the effectiveness of Precision Boost 2
Over the past year, we have seen the processor landscape change more than it had changed in the ten years before. This was, of course, driven by AMD's Ryzen processors, which are much better placed to compete with Intel than they were in previous years. T...

The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is undoubtedly the best consumer processor on the market right now. It's only fair competitor, the Intel Core i7-8700K, is slower on the single- and multi- core front and doesn't offer much better gaming performance to justify its sl...

This makes Dave a happy panda. This is a high-end AMD processor that makes me question why anyone would now buy the 8700K or 9900K instead. We've genuinely got serious competition in the CPU market once more, with AMD pushing Intel as hard as it's ever do...

AMD's Ryzen 7 2700X is another big step forward for AMD. The improved boost algorithms add to Ryzen's performance advantage in heavily-threaded applications, while the increased frequency and reduced memory latency provide a boost to a wide range of workl...

Despite taking the industry by storm last year, AMD weren't happy. There were aspects which needed attention in order to truly scare Intel. Memory performance and latency, as well as slow CPU cache, caused considerable issues with the previous generation...

AMD has bolstered the Ryzen line-up by announcing four CPUs today. These performance second-generation chips are marketed as the 2000-series family and now augment the G-series models released earlier this year.The purpose of these processors is to en...

AMD has done exactly what it needed to with both the Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X, closing the gaps between it and Intel in those lightly-threaded tests (including games) while also extending its lead in multi-threaded applications, where it's now in a...
